'A charming place', this B&B and events venue has plenty of space, with bedrooms in a 19th-century house and coach house, 'pleasant lounges', and extensive grounds. Guests are largely left to their own devices; it is self check-in and breakfast is a self-service continental affair. There is a kitchen where you can help yourself to cakes and drinks, or perhaps rustle up a meal. On a Sunday night a reader was the sole guest, and reception was unmanned overnight. 'My bedroom was beautifully furnished, with a view of the garden from the bay window.' A connecting private bathroom was 'huge, equipped with its own television' and over-bath shower. (JR)
